Reviewer: Chozenjuan 4 reviews from this member

 Had a wonderful time here, the view from our pitch of the bay was phenomenal and was literally 3 minutes walk away. The pitch had excellent ground drainage so even if it rained it would stay firm.

The toilet/shower block was spotlessly clean and everything was as it should be, very friendly helpful staff. We were lucky to have visited during a heatwave but I'm sure our stay would have been enjoyable in other weather.

The bay itself is breathtaking and our children had so much fun there playing amongst the rockpools before heading for the sand. There is plenty of beautiful scenery to take in and lots of places for walks, also the site is very dog friendly.

The price was very reasonable being £56 for two nights stay and not having to leave until 3pm the day of departure gives you plenty of time to enjoy the morning before packing up.

All in all this is one campsite we will definitely be returning to.

 Our first proper camping holiday. 4 nights in this lovely site.

Everyone was friendly.

The site was clean.

Showers always hot.

Toilets are a bit narrow but did nt really bother me.

Noise was kept to a minimum at night and no rowdy drunks.

Scenery was lovely. Beach clean and only a 5 min walk maybe less.

Good equipped shop. And lovely chips from the 2 chip shops on the beach.

Enough room around all the tents and caravans.

There are 4 fields that you can be sited in. The furthest field had the longest walk to the toilets, so glad we had electric hook up in our tent which meant we were close to the toilets.

Will definitely be going back.

Reviewer: BLOSSOM01 1 review from this member

 Have just spent 4 nights at this site and to be honest it was lovely and clean, the showers were hot and clean if you got the timing right.

Get it wrong and its full of children, grass and not much hot water. Toilet cubicles were very narrow and not lit very well. Its good they recycle rubbish, having other bins down the other end of the site would have been better.

Its good they don't want people driving cars unless leaving or entering the site. Most of the staff were friendly, apart from whom I can only assume was the owner, he was not very chatty, didn't smile and he intimidated me by his body language, I didn't like going in the shop with him in there.

I also thought as this was a family campsite that the amount of quad bike trips around the site was a tad excessive, especially as 8am each morning.

We had a lovely weekend even with the rain, however we won't be coming back.

 Old Landrover with a temporary bed in the back, happily accepted and admired!

Very friendly site! Guy behind the desk couldn't have been any more hospitable! Could have sat chatting to him for hours!

Very nice views, brilliant location, and brilliant facilities! We shared a field with one other van, and the walk to the toilets was long, but not too bad. Prices were on the high side but well worth it. We spent our last night here, and got good weather! Would return here in an instant! Rules seemed to be on the agenda, but were very relaxed and not enforced this time of year.

 We phoned the day before and were told they could find us a spot on bank holiday Sunday. The site was reasonably busy as expected, but we found a flat pitch with a reasonable view.

The campsite is in a fantastic location. There are a chippy, a chippy/cafe, a pub and a restaurant within a couple of minutes walk. It's quite easy to get around the area from Port Eynon as well.

The facilities were always clean. We always showered a bit late in the morning and the showers were not really hot, but more than warm enough. They were always clean throughout our stay.

We had a quick nosey at quite a few other sites around the Gower as we passed and agreed there wasn't one we'd swap for.

I'd happily recommend the site and will definitely be back.

Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: CamRomer 3 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely campsite, with amazing views. It's not the cheapest, but it's worth paying a little bit more to be right next to the beach/sea.

This was our second visit to the site. The first time the site was nice and quiet, this time was a lot busier and therefore noisier, which was a shame. The majority of people left on the Sunday afternoon and therefore it was quieter (just how we remembered it).

There are a couple of toilet/shower blocks, which are regularly checked upon, but as it was a lovely sunny weekend the toilet blocks were well used!

The pitches are mainly on slopes and some are quite steep.

There are 2 chip shops just outside the campsite and a pub. Also 2 other shops. To buy a newspaper you need to visit another campsite which was about a 7 minute walk away.

The campsite has a barrier to stop just anyone going around the site and is locked on an evening, which we felt was a good idea.

This really is a lovely campsite and deserves a visit (or two).

 Our sixth year, noticed a big improvement in site management with regular checks being made around the site. Toilets, showers excellent, only point to mention is that plug sockets in first field ladies' toilets are directly above the only hand drier - this area was often congested with youngsters with phones charging /electric hair implements plugged in, one person had extension sockets hanging down below the drier with water able to drip on to them from wet hands being dried directly above!

Had a great pitch with electric, lovely sea view and peaceful.

Weekend got very crowded, still think it would be good idea to have ball games restricted to certain areas and to have 'quiet sections' of the camp, that could be prebooked, be happy to pay extra for this to know that we would be located in a peaceful part of the camp, with like minded neighbours!

 Got back on Sunday from this site it was our first camping trip and it was a brill one. Security gate to get in and you have to show your pass, and right in a beautiful clean beach.

There are about 4 fields to choose from all beautifully mowed and very clean we saw a man going around a few times on 4x4 picking up the smallest bits of rubbish out of hedgerow and on the ground. There is a chip shop, a shop and a pub just outside the gate but I cant comment as we didn't use any of these.

Very very clean toilet, shower with free hairdryers and washing sink blocks. Also around the fields are drinking water stations. As we were leaving the man at the gate even apologised for the bad weather bless him. We are going back next week and cant wait 


Date of Visit: April 2010 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Fowlerjonk 13 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site for one night in April. The location is superb; it's literally on the beach. Port Eynon is a nice little place. There are a couple of fish and chip shops and a general store a couple of minutes from the site entrance and a nice pub down the lane but apart from that there's not much else. There were plenty of clean toilets and showers on site and a small site shop which sells things like calor gas, tin openers etc. We thought that it was quite expensive considering it was only April and there aren't that many facilities on the site. We paid £23 for one night in a campervan with an electric hook up (2 adults and 1 child). It would be nice if there was a playground for the kids.

 We have just had a lovely weekend here, spent most summers here when I was a kid has not changed a lot since.

Not the cheapest site around but it is right on the beach.

The staff were all very friendly patrolling on quads to stop people getting too noisy.

The toilet were all nice and clean the field are a a slop so get there early to get a good pitch.

Only thing my kids were missing was a play area.

We will be going back later this year.

Reviewer: Ustwo125 13 reviews from this member

 I have to say I echo a lot of what has been written her already.

We (3 x families) stayed on the 1st field. Quiet steep. The site was a bit pricey but you pay for the view and boy what a view! Close to a brilliant beach.

The bad points are Sloped pitch, we had no hot water all weekend, loads of dog mess, and we didn't like the fact that there was a patrol on a quad bike as we too felt very guilty! No much room for the kids to run around and cost.

Reviewer: Jimmyjj111 5 reviews from this member

 We stayed in the fourth field, so yes a bit of a walk to the toilets but on the positive side we barbecued on the beach, just on the end of the campsite, put our kayaks straight into the sea from our camping base. Fantastic !

Level at the bottom of the field but more of an incline as it goes up.

You pay your money and you find your pitch. Great idea!

And quiet generally morning and night.

Field one is a little noisy for me but as you go along it gets quieter.

Toilets are clean, showers spot on.

The local pub is the ship, great for the big screen watching the football.

The local restaurant which I think is called the smugglers haunt, not the cheapest but food is worth every penny charged.

Local walks every where,we went to the smugglers cave which is just behind the campsite. Look it up then see if you can find it? very clever location.

Also went to worms head but there is so much to do and see round here I could go on and on.

Loved this camp site and we will be back.

Reviewer: Michael1966 2 reviews from this member

 Visited with 3 other families plus dogs. Stayed in the end field which is quieter, but a walk from the 2 shower blocks. Good local facilities in walking distance, excellent beach, coastal walks and views.

Can be busy - it's a large site and attracts weekend campers when the weather is good. Shower blocks got very busy and dirty at this point but otherwise OK. Wardens kept the site fairly quiet, found them to be helpful. Not the cheapest site considering we had no electric. Would visit again, though with a group.

Reviewer: Leiccamp 1 review from this member

 Found the site very welcoming once you get past the warden standing guard on the gate (found this quite reassuring after visiting some other local campsites which we drove into and around without question).

4 night stay at £20 per night for 2 of us, tent and car.

We stayed in the 3rd field along. First field was full, second is situated on a decent gradient, 4th is a bit too far from the toilets situated on the 1st and 2nd fields. A note to be aware of is that the 1st field is lit by a huge security light at night which I imagine would not be very nice if in a tent.

Found fellow campers pleasant and friendly. Noticed that there was a large number of Welsh campers on site which we took as a positive sign us driving in from England.

Fantastic views of the beach and surrounding countryside. Within 30minutes drive of all the sites, beaches and walks in Gower. On-site shop sells all essentials, 2 chippies and a pub within 100yards of gate. Decent petrol station/shop 10mins drive. Some nice bbq food available there.

Only note of concern came from the missus that only 1 toilet block and sockets to plug her hair-dryer into.

Would go again due to location and general calm atmosphere of site.

Reviewer: Get off my land!! 1 review from this member

 This is our 3rd visit,to this lovely campsite. It is a very clean and well looked after site, and the beach is a stones throw away. 2 adults 1 child and a dog, in a tent for 3 nights with ehu, was a bit pricey at £23 per night. The only noise around the site came from the wardens quad bike when he does his checks around the fields
